My communication style

I practice and hope to model clear, honest, direct and respectful communication, but will also align my communication style to meet your comfort level. I strive to pay attention to your words, tone, and body language to understand your underlying emotions.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path into therapy began with a deep curiosity about human resilience and commitment to helping others navigate life's challenges. My years of working with trauma survivors has strengthened my appreciation for the healing process and the strength people carry with them. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth, healing and lasting change.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a collaborative partnership. Together, we'll identify goals that are meaningful to you. Whether that involves strengthening relationships, building self-confidence, or fostering personal growth. As your insight deepens through the work you have put in, we'll adjust our approach to ensure it remains relevant to your life.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming low pressure space at your pace, where we focus on getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. I will answer your questions related to therapy process. And will give us the opportunity to begin a therapeutic alliance grounded on trust, respect and collaboration.
